Mary Jo Whites statements are usual for counsel, but oddly enough still provide no evidence. In fact why is she speaking up for Goodell's position at all at this time?
Seems and odd thing to do, unless your trying to prevent Vilma from civil/legal action.
I mean what is the purpose of it. He was obviously told her to make these statements.
And her statement come down to this " Oh, believe me and roger, they are guilt"

Her motive to me are much more interesting than anything she said, we have all heard this before.

Her contract for her evaluation probably read something like this:

Consultant fee to be paid:

Favorable to NFL: $2,000,000.00
Unfavorable to NFL: $20.00

Essentially is a pay for preference program.

or

The NFL offered her $10,000.00 to take the NFLPA out of the argument. A bounty program if you will.
